In the dehydrator I linked to, a fan is blowing room temperature air -- the colder air the better. My last batch was about 65 degrees for 12 hours.

Give this a shot sometime... I guarantee you'll be able to tell a difference in the taste/texture. And I'd be willing to bet you won't use that American Harvest dehydrator for beef jerky again.
No.... There is no temp setting at all. My dehydrator blows room temp air the entire time. There is one switch that controls the fan. The air is not heated, and I didn't know there were dehydrators that were heated. If that is the case, I apologize, as I guess I only speak for my food dehydrator. My jerky is not cooked, it's dried. And it's fantastic.

Most home-use dehydrators that you'd buy at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. blow air that is AT LEAST 85 degrees... recipes in those dehydrators tell people to set the temp setting at 145 degree and dry for 8-12 hours...

And yes... the way you and I are doing it IS fantastic.

Anybody tried this on their deer jerky? Very good stuff..... Although I make my own marinade, if you're in a hurry this works great for a quick easy store-bought marinade for deer....

I've tried the Allego marinades before and wasn't overly impressed... too salty. But I also make my own marinades.
